Introduction

Luxated tooth

Occasionally, veterinarians are presented with luxated or avulsed teeth.

Luxated = partly dislocated from the socket

Avulsed = completely removed/pulled out of the socket


In these cases of trauma, the blood supply to the tooth is affected, resulting in pulp necrosis.
